Episode 039 - A Call to Arms

from Forged by FIRE with Ryan Rodriquez · host Ryan Rodriquez

Suicide awareness month is wrapping up as September comes to an end, but that doesn’t mean we should stop making plans to improve our mentalities as well as our bodies.  I’ve put a focus on mental health and wellness this month with a little bit of physical awareness thrown in.  It’s important to remember that the body follows the mind, but it’s EQUALLY as important to remember that the mind follows the body as well.  One impacts the other, but HOW they impact each other is completely up to you, your motivations, and mindset.  Today’s episode is a CALL TO ARMS.  A “call to arms” is a call to defend against a takeover.  We are all facing different battles, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t rally to fight against these battles in similar ways.  Prepare for confrontation.  Prepare for that big fire.  Prepare for a situation where you will need to harness your emotions in order to get your job done. I’m going to review some strategies that can help you become better prepared to defend the castle walls of your mind and get your body into a place where you can physically overcome the challenges that would come your way.  ____ Click HERE to get your FREE COPY of the Motivation Worksheet that I mention in the episode!  Click HERE to read more about and purchase the 28-Day Ignition Workout Program!  Click HERE to visit the website and learn more about me and the IGNITEd movement.  Join the battalion of firefighters and EMS professionals who want to civilize their minds, but make savage their bodies by joining the IGNITEd Firefighters Podcast Community on Facebook.  This is where you can connect with me and other firefighters all over the world!  We can share our experiences and gain insight from each other as we deal with the struggles that we may be facing.
